Mrs. Emmons, the wife of Prof. Emmons
OF Washington. D. -, the geolI gist, who
has Just returned from her sensational Euro
pean trip, Is still at Wormley's hotel. Prof.
EmmOns. DR.. Lineoln and Lawyer Garnet
endeavored to have her placed in an insane
asylum. They sent for Chief of Police
Moore, who on his arrival at the lady 3
rooms found her 50 self-pOssezse1 and IA
uOnal that he refused to take her into Gus
bOdY, and the professor and professional
friends were obliged TO leave the hotel with
Out having accomplished their purpose The
matter has created great sensation in so
ciety. Although her eccentricities were
many and peculiar, no suspicion has been
attached to her private reputation. She was
a dashing equestrienne and usually accom-
panied the late Mis- Kate BayErd's daugh-
ter, IN her horseback excursions. She was
with Miss Bayard when the latter was thrown
from her horse and almost killed. One of
her oddities, not specially agreeable to her
friends, was her attachment 20 an immense,
ssVage-looking Siberian bloodhound, which
accompanied her every where, and was given
8 wide berth BY pedestrians
VIM. Bush, of New York City, gave a party
at his residence on New Years eve to a
number of his friends. His apartments not
being sufficiently large to entertain the
company, the party adjourned to Karl
Gables hall near Mr.. Bush's house While
Bush's friends were enjoying themselves in
the hall, two strangers called at the side
door OF Gadle's saloon and asked for a glass
Of beer, which was denied them. They
found their way in and mp to the ball room,
where they bee me insulting and abusive.
Gadle vas notified and at once told the men
70 leave the place, and Was obliged to use
force to eject them. Bush assisted them.
When they reached the street the men with
whom Bush grappled drew large spring
clasp knife and stabbed Bush in the cheek
inhicting an ugly wound. In attempting to
ward on the blow he also received a severe
cut in the hand. He, however, still kept
fighting the man, who finally managed to
hold Bush from him and at the same time
stab him in the left breast, about an inch
above the heart. The Woundwas two inches
IN depth The injuries will prove fatal.
To mention spurious money in an Arkan-
sas town is to set the people wild with ex-
element, and so IL was on the news getting
out in Little Rock, Ark, that a gang of
oouuterfeiters, who have been engaged IN
flooding Texas with tlss representatives Of
the dollars Of our dad lies were enrOute to
Little Rock and warning the banks and
other monied channels TO be on the lookout
for the coin It is learned that the gang
consists OF four men and their make" is
the most perfect Likeness of a SILVER standard
dollar ever thrown upon the market. This
is all they are Showing" and as the warn
ing comes from government officials there
IL unquestiOnably some bitter fact at the
bottom of lhe story. The gang are repre-
scented as resorting - ali sorts of schemes IN
getting rid of their money, the most feasible
Of which is said 10 be the dress Of the cOun-
tEyman- Candy, peanuts tobacco sugar,
and In fact articles of ali kinds costing only
the fraction of dollar are purchased, and
in this way their devllish purpose is wrought
most bsnehcially to themselves.
Five elderly men, four of them accom-
panied by their wives, sat down to their
fOrty-third annual dinner at the National
hotel, In st. Louis, Mo-, and discussed an
elaborate menu prepared especially for their
comfort. They called themselves the 90 Ays-
tic Five" and talked of their organization
at Concord, n. h, Eearly half century ago.
Among the articles of their cOnvenant were
mutual agreements made Whsn young men
never to drink spirituOus liquors as a bever-
age, or engage IN any game OF chancei that
each should attend the marriage and funeral
Of the others, although this latter provision
has not yet been acted upons and on the last
day OF every year at . O'Clock IN the evening
20 meet in festive reunion, each becoming
alternately the host for the occasion. This
honor fell to Mr.. Joseph S. Abbott of St.
Louis, this time. Even the famed society of
the last Man" formed by some young men
At Cincinnati in 1882, falls far shOrl of the
record Of the ''Mystic Five"

tanos OF any kind the three hours during
s7hich the line OF oallera passed before him.
Although be showed signs Of WEAKNESS to-
ward the close, It appears that ne was not
unduly distressed, and he is comfortable to-
night. Mrs. Cleveland was also much
fatigusd, but showed no sign Of discomfort
during the reception, and shook hands with
the same cherry smile with the last person
